We were on BBC One! 🦔
It’s not every day that you appear on the BBC One Breakfast show, but this week I had the incredible opportunity to talk about a cause close to my heart—hedgehogs and the vital work we do for them.
Since our charity, Pumpkin’s Wildlife Hospital, opened, I’ve dedicated all my free time to ensuring that injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife get the support they need. Hedgehogs are a particularly important part of our work, and right now, they make up the majority of the patients we care for at the centre. With their numbers in serious decline, especially in rural areas, protecting and rehabilitating hedgehogs is a critical focus of our project.
This project is not just mine but belongs to our entire community. We are so grateful for the support of our clients, many of whom volunteer with us, making our clinic even more special.
If you’d like to get involved, we are always looking for volunteers. Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, there are many ways to help our wildlife and support our community. If you’re interested, please fill out our application form or contact us directly. There’s a place for everyone to make a difference!
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make our community a safer place for wildlife.

Dumped kittens
These little three were dumped in a cat litter box this morning, at the bus stop near the cross between Prestwick road and Hayling road.
If you have a ring bell or any kind of potential footage that you could share with us, please DM us.
They are safe and warm with us now. ❤️

This is what 16 years of loyalty looks like ❤️
Today marks 16 years since I started as a vet at Medivet in Carpenters Park. When I arrived, the clinic had only about 5 appointments a day and maybe 1 surgery a week. Since then, it’s grown to become a very busy clinic, creating the most amazing family of clients and pets that any vet could ever wish for.
You have all been there for me when times got tough. Thank you for these years. It’s been a great journey with its ups and downs, happy moments, and sad ones. With people coming and moving away, and again new faces arriving. Every day brings something different – sometimes good surprises, sometimes tough ones. But no matter what, you, my clients, have always made each day special with your love and support.
Thank you so much for letting me be the one to care for your pets. It is and it will always be an honour for me to continue doing so! ❤️

Love my job ❤️
When passion blurs the line between work and leisure, you realise you’ve found your true calling.
Dedicating my time, skills, and heart to veterinary care, even outside my professional hours, isn’t an obligation; it’s a privilege. Serving at Pumpkin’s Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre (Pumpkin’s Wildlife Hospital ) I find fulfillment in every unpaid moment. And while my services are pro bono, our charity does have a ‘modest’ affection for donations. So, if your pockets feel too heavy, we’re here to help lighten the load – all in the name of wildlife care, of course! 😁
Thank you for your forever support, it really means the world to us! ❤️
If you want to donate, visit Pumpkin’s Wildlife Hospital page or send me a message for more information

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎄🎄
This year has been and “interesting” one and because of this, we haven’t been able to do our usual and very loved Christmas cards. It’s not that we didn’t want to, it’s just that the amount of work, the lack of staffing and late nights trying to help animals (dogs and cats), have absorbed all of our time - please accept our apologies! ❤️
May you all have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones! Please remember to be cautious with what you feed your pets, the last thing we all need is an urgent visit to the vets!
Big Love and Merry Christmas!

I think this was the first “dramatic” upside down of Jack. He ran away and I had to chase him first and then find him by following his bark. He had been officially living with me for about 5 weeks and, as you can hear in my voice, I was already losing years of life due to stress!!! 🤣 I had not yet learnt to make peace with his naughtiness and just enjoy the ride… but he couldn’t care less. He had one year left to live and he was going to make the best out of it!
He taught me so much… he taught us all so much!
I hope you all have a “Jack Day” today!
Go out.
Have fun.
Be fearless.
Make today count
and Find joy in the simple things. ❤️

Found on Elstree Park. She is heavily pregnant - can anybody recognise her? She is extremely loving ❤️. #cat #catsofinstagram #lostcat #foundcat #elstreepark
From rescue to release ❤️
Sometimes, our patients just need a few hours of care before they can go back home.
This nuthatch was found in somebody’s garden. The dog was barking at him but he was not moving at all. Fortunately, the owners of the dog brought him to us where he was assessed by our veterinary team, nursed for a few hours and released back home once he started to interact like a normal bird.
He was so happy to be back home! It’s always a great feeling when you get to release them!
Stay safe little one! ❤️

She still loves being cuddled! 🧡
Many people, when they see me with Pumpkin say… “oh, I want a fox”. I always reply “no, you don’t”. In my opinion, foxes as terrible animals to be kept as a pet, and also it would be unfair for a healthy fox to be kept from being in his/her natural habitat.
Pumpkin is a special case, she really needs 24/7 care and she is very challenging to care for. The good thing she has, although it is also a sign of how developed her toxoplasmosis is, it is that she is happy going for long walks in open spaces and with lots of people. This is something foxes absolutely hate because they feel vulnerable and in danger. She has lost her sense of fear and her hability to defend herself or look for shelter when she needs it and that is why she needs somebody with her all the time.
If you want to know more, you can ask me about her or you can also check her Tiktok accounf @Pumpkin_The_Blind_Fox
